I very much agree with the principles of your idea, but the
problem is politics can be on topic when a government entity
(State, Nation, County, City) begins to entertain something that
affects our ability to work or communicate, etc.
Religion can come into play when one is being impacted. Example
being put on call when it is a Holy Day you are required to keep
and resulting discussions.
While in the USofA you might fall back on EEOC, it was not
until fairly recently that the standard for reasonable
accommodation was changed to be in favor of the employee and not
the employer. Now, where I used to work, management would have to
do scheduling that kept from putting me in the on call list from
Friday evening to Saturday evening, or similar for a Holy Day...
But otherwise, I agree with the list you have below.

It used to stick to 3 ideals pretty well:
. no ad-hominem
. no politics
. no religion
Is that no longer a viable option?
